Creating A File
Jun 28, 2006
Hi All!
I am still trying to understand all the differences between SQL 2000 and 2005. This question probably has a really easy answer, but I just don't know it. I need to create a DTS routine that creates a file from a table. The catch is, it needs to have a header segment, data segment, and footer segment. In SQL 2000, I would have created activex script to create this file. Since SQL 2005 is going away from activex script I am at a loss.
The file will be in this format.
Header
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Data
Footer
Basically output header from table... loop through table for data... and output footer from table.
If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks.
Danielle

For a database, we have 4 data files in a particular file group and the file sizes are almost 70 GB each.
Do I come across any performance issues if I create/pre-allocate an additional data file in the same file group so that the existing files don't grow too much?

I am trying to create an ssis package with dynamic csv file as output. and out format contains query output.
sample file name:
Unique identifier + query output + systemdate();
The expression is looking like this.
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName] + ".CSV"
-- user filepath is a variable from ssis package. File name is the output from SQL query. using script task i have assigned the values to @[User::FileName] .
When I debugged the script task the value getting properly but same variable am using for Flafile destination. but its not working.

I have a system which has several different dbases involved, and have created an update procedure within it all. It all works fine, but as a refrenence point I want to create a log file,each time the procedure is run.
This file will have useful info such as no of transactions added, no of product row n customer rows, any unmatching entries and any exception records. What I dont know is how do I create such a file?
I was thinking maybe I could save the info into a table, and then somehow transfer this into a txt file? The txt file will be replaced each time the stored procedure is run.... Does any1 know any links or ideas that might help me?...I never does anything lik this b4 but I have seen it done.....
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
We are using VS 2005 with SQL Server Mobile Edition. We created the .sdf file on the desktop and added this file to our VS project and set the Build Action to content. Next we deployed our app on Symbol PDA which has Windows CE 5.0 as the OS. We followed the following steps:
1. Deploy the app.
2. Install .NET CF 2.0
3. System_SR_ENU.CAB
4. sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
5. sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.CAB
6. sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB
Now I want to create a new .sdf file in PDA. So I open QA3.0 and type the create database command. But I get error:
You need to have a database connection opened in order to run this operation.
What could be the issue?
Regards,
Vilas

Hi, I wrote a report builder that creates a CSV file but I can't redirect to the file to view it. ERROR Cannot find the Server!. This works fine on the dev machine but deploy it and it does not.

I am using this bcp out construct and it works fine except that if the query does not return values it bcp's out a file anyhow. This is not wanted and I am looking for a work around.
SELECT @Year = CONVERT(varchar(4), @trxYearMonthStart, 120)
SELECT @Month = RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar(7), @trxYearMonthStart, 120),2)
SELECT @cmd = 'BCP "SELECT * FROM ' + @TableToBeCleaned + ''
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' WHERE '+ @SelectedColumn + ' BETWEEN '
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + '''' + CONVERT(varchar(10),@trxYearMonthStart,120) + ''' and ''' + CONVERT(varchar(10),@trxYearMonthEnd,120) + ''''
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + 'AND NOT EXISTS (Select * from DBCleanerHist Where TableName = ''' + @TableToBeCleaned + ''' and sYear = '+ @Year + ' and sMonth = ' + @Month + ')'
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' " QUERYOUT ' + @DBCleanerBackUpPath+'' +@TableToBeCleaned +'_'+ @Year + '_' + @Month + '.txt '
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' -c -C1250 -S -Uopms -Psmpo'
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmd
The subquery checks first in DBCleanerHist if a file already has been extracted onto hd and if so do not create an empty file and overwrite an existing file.
thanks

Bit of a SQL newbie, having taken over a support role for a piece of software that my firm sells. It is basically a DB that runs on MSDE or SQL Server in either desktop or enterprise scenarios.
We do sell our software to clients who may or may not already have SQL on their machines. During installation, it searches for sqlservr.exe for existing SQL installations and if it finds nothing, will then install MSDE 1.0 to house the db files.
My question is this -
I can manually create a db or manually attach an existing db through sql query analyser where there is a full-blown SQL installation. Is there any way I can do the same where there is only MSDE installed? The simple solution, I guess, would be to download one of the freeware or shareware MSDE "Enterprise Managers", but this won't always be suitable for a client installation.
Many thanks for your assistance all.
:cool:

I have AdventureWorks installed. I am using SQL Server 2005.
I need to import some large tab delimited text files into SQL. From the research i did I thought that using BCO would be the best solution becausr I will have to import these files and export in the same format.
I am attempting to follow the example at:
Creating a Format File
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191516.aspx
B. Creating a non-XML format file for character data
In my command window at C: I enter:
bcp AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Department format nul -c -f Department-c.fmt -T
I was expecting to be prompted with questions about the source file and have a format file created. When i press enter nothing hallende. No errors. Nothing.
Can come one give a beginner the step by step on how to creat the format file and use it to import (and export would be nice too).

Hi All,
We have a fairly standard process whereby we get a trigger file from a client FTP site, and check whether it's blank (zero length) or not. if it's not zero length, then we attempt to download the actual data file. if that's successfull, we overwrite the trigger file with a blank file.
now this is all very easy in a batch script or unix shell script, but there appears to be no "create file" option in the file system task. I've also tried having a flat file destination in a data flow task but it insists that it wants columns to be fed to it.
how can I create a blank file?!?!?
Andrew.

Is there a way I can use one SQL server 2005 (full edition not express) Stored procedure that can execute a .SQL file as if it were in the SQL management studio Query window?
I have the situation where I have some .SQL file which were created with the 'Create to File' option in SQL Management studio. I then want to send them to a user who can execute them to create a SP on his SQL server without having to run the SQL management tools.

Clive

Hi,
I have a created a DTS packges which is reading data from sql server table, manipulate this data as required and then create a text file with that data. I created the text file using FileSystemObject. I was writing one field at a time to the text file.
I need to same thing but instead of creating text file, I need to create a excel file with each column from database going to separate column in excel sheet. I tried to do this with FileSystemObject, but it was wrting all the columns from database to one cell in excel sheet. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks!

I am using SQLServer 8.
I have several files that were FTP'd from our legacy COBOL system. I am in the process of cleaning them up and saving them into CSV format.
I was told that I could use the BCP utility to import them into a SQL database, but the documentation I have is not real clear on that.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to import these files? I have created the database but not the tables.
Thanks.

A short description of my prob :
I am looping through a set of files and on each loop i process the file and move it to another folder. I am using File System task to do so and variables with destination path and name. It works fine.
Requirement :
However now I want that after processing the file, instead of moving it, I create an empty text file at the destination containing the file name. I want to do this with minimum effort. Can anyone suggest me the way.

Hi,
I need to have an SDF file with Japanese characters, to be read on Windows Mobile 2003. I'd like to create this file with my PC, since I don't seem to be able to create cells containing Japanese characters using directly SQL Query on the PPC.
So far, I see 2 options:
1) Creating an MDF file with Japanese characters (no problem), then use a tool to convert this MDF file to SDF. I've tried the 3rd party Primeworks tool that has been suggested on Forums, but it doesn't offer the Japanese language option, so when I try to read the generated SDF file on my PPC, I get squares instead of characters.
I'm not sure if I can use SQL Server Integration Services to convert my file; it seems so, but I'm not sure which tool to download. (Any idea?)
2) Using SQL Server Management Studio, with SQL Server Mobile, and creating an SDF file. I can create tables with Japanese characters in it, but I cannot read the generated SDF file on Windows Mobile 2003 (it's probably compatible only with WM5, since I think the tool was designed for it)
Can anyone help me resolving the final steps to make one of these options work?
Thanks very much!!
